Handsome Heron edition of seven extracts from the accounts of the great portuguese explorers. Bound in blue faux-leather cloth with elaborate gilt decoration. Decorated end-papers. With b/w images and introduction. Some very mild foxing to top edge. Light dent to top of spine. Small marks to end-papers (tape residue from a previous owner's protective jacket, which has kept the covers especially bright.) Contents are clean and tight. Very Good
